March 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

Thank you Joe...it felt great today.

 

Well, that's true whenever one buys a product from another country. Why would I buy a quality soap from Europe when I know the exorbitant shipping fees will be passed on to me. I know of one brand from S. Africa that the price is quite reasonable here in the States and that is Master Soap Creations. I have not tried it but have seen it used on youtube and it lathers well. I believe the Razor Company stocks it. There are a few others like Razorock, Omega that make soaps at reasonable prices as well. With the price of gas, I am glad that I have an abundance of soap.

 

myself as well.i was lucky when i got my stirling products,i usually bought over the limit for the free shipping..i believe razorock has a u.s store as well as a canadian one.so deals on both sides of the border.

Greetings,

Face & Head shave.

A new shave set up to start the weekend.. I have mentioned on many occasions that The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe shaving cream never fails to provided me with a smooth protective slick lather in no time leaving a superb post shave feel....This cream gives the best protective slickness, and post shave feel that i have had from any shaving cream that i have tried to date...Superb Stuff!

The Supply Razor V2. mowed through my face and head stubble effortlessly.

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Oud 24 Hours EDP to the pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Outstanding shave Barry! Supply razors have an excellent reputation. They just came out with the SE with a no nick system. Have a great day! In fact, you can get the new plate to make your razor an SE without buying the new razor.

 

Joe...Have a great day as well.

 

Clubman has a shaving cream tub too...I betchs they got that idea from Fraser's....Ah yes, th copycat business world we have.

 

Very good overall shave this morning with Sir Hare&Co.'s Alpha. Tobacco and Sandalwood. I think this soap will be the first one I will have finished since joining in 2015. I flipped away some others that I felt I'd had enough of. But not SH. Before the shave, I ended up with more soap loaded than at other times. Nice work from the Jayaruh #59-and of course, ME. Great job spreading the soap all over. All bases were covered. The only glitch in the shave was a cut at S. Porcupine Alley. It got too big for me to call it a "Giant Knick". 2 passes, and boy did I need that second so I could slice off a section of Cactus Nation that I missed during the first. Pleased overall. It should have been a higher grade than the Super Duper Excellent I'll give it.

 

quite possible. there may have been many brands in older days that had similar barber supply tubs.

 

awesome gents..good morning..

 

hello gents,

Brought out one of my favorite setups this morning. My 1A fav brush whipped up a nice lather from MCS lavender soap. I just love it.
Did a WTG and then a ATG pass for a very near BBS shave. I didn't feel like doing a half pass to chase the baby. There was not any bloodshed or irritation. Finished the shave with my normal ritual and ending with a splash of this awesome juice. Have a great Saturday!

Wonderful classic Cella shave this morning. The synthetic brush whipped up a nice lather. The W &B blade delivered a relatively close shave as I think it is time for a refresh on the lapping part or 12K stone. Most likely the lapping paper for a first go round. The shave was close but not as close as usual with this blade.

On the agenda today will be finishing up the painting off the molding in the dining. On the task is completed, the dining room is finished.

This evening, Joann, Anthony and I will be heading our to a nice steakhouse to celebrate her birthday which is this upcoming Monday.

Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Wonderful shave Joe.

 

Most excellent shave Joe.
